The new uniforms that will be seen during the rest of the series are introduced in this episode as a gift from Delenn to the command staff of Babylon 5.
(edit)
This episode marks the halfway point in the series. Like the pilot, it closes with the announcement that Babylon 5 is "open for business."
(edit)
The song about the bones is yet another homage to cult TV series "The Prisoner."
(edit)
While Garibaldi had a broken leg at the end of "Severed Dreams." Actor Jerry Doyle broke his arm the last day of shooting that episode. So in this episode, the injured body part was changed to a broken arm.
(edit)
Garibaldi [To Delenn]: No one knows, but ... I'm afraid all the time ... what I might do if I ever let go.
(edit)
Sheridan: Hello Delenn. Now, I was thinking, you couldn't come to the ceremony, the ceremony should come to you. I've given up something that really mattered to me, the uniform and everything that goes with it. I've never told anyone before now. When you were hurt, when you were in my arms, I was ready to kill that guy with my bare hands. I realized I have never told you how much I cared about you, how much you mean to me. I think it's time you knew that. I can no longer imagine my world ... without you in it. I don't ... know exactly when or how it happened, ... but I'm glad it did.
(edit)
Sniper: Always bet on stupidity.
(edit)
Sheridan: What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen someone who's been reborn before? The crisis, for now, is over. Tell the ships ... we are open for business.
(edit)
Lennier [To Marcus]: I know that Delenn is fated for another, and I have accepted that, in my heart. But I have vowed to stay at her side through all things for as long as I live.
(edit)
The voice of the artificial intelligence that pops up when Garibaldi reboots the station's computer system, is that of Harlan Ellison (Conceptual artist and writer).
(edit)
During the funeral scene, a group of starfuries fly over the coffins in a "V." One breaks off, creating the "missing man" formation used for military funerals today.
